In-Home Physical Therapy Services
Working on your physical wellness does more than improve your mobility. It also enhances your emotional health, especially if you’re recovering from an illness, injury or surgery. Ohioans Home Health & Hospice offers personalized physical therapy plans that are designed with your comfort and safety in mind.
We contract experienced physical therapists to assist you with general movements with a focus on fall prevention, balance, endurance and range of motion. Those techniques help you decrease pain and stiffness that can accompany physical recovery. Ohioans’ integrated approach to in-home physical therapy distinguishes us as a provider that delivers compassionate, effective care to meet you wherever you’re at on your journey.
Goals of In-Home Physical Therapy
The goal of physical therapy is to help you achieve your desired level of mobility and autonomy so you can live comfortably in your home. With our expert guidance, you define the goals of your rehabilitation.
We provide comprehensive exercises to strengthen your muscles, improve your coordination and reduce your risk of falls. Training also lowers your risk of rehospitalization and expedites your recovery time.
Your therapy plan is tailored to your specific needs to promote effective rehabilitation within a familiar environment. That patient-centric model facilitates a more comfortable healing process and contributes to better clinical outcomes and quality of life.
What to Expect During Your In-Home Physical Therapy Session
Each plan is different. That’s the beauty of personalized services.
When you work with Ohioans, you’ll undergo a thorough evaluation process before you begin physical therapy to ensure you receive the proper treatment to optimize your recovery.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Your physical therapist will review your medical history, medications and physical capabilities. They’ll also discuss your lifestyle habits and activity level, which influence how you advance through rehabilitation.
- The assessment begins with a series of measurements to evaluate how you move. Your therapist will look at your range of motion, posture, strength, gait and joint flexibility. They’ll also ask you to identify pain points so they can account for them in your care plan.
- You’ll talk about the goals you hope to achieve, which may include pain management, better coordination and enhanced mobility. Your therapist will also help you set expectations and establish a system to track your progress.
- During your training, your therapist will also educate you on how to move safely in your home. Your loved ones are encouraged to participate in your sessions, too, so they can assist between appointments.
“Vasu the physical therapist is wonderful! Conscientious, pleasant, and most importantly, good at what he does. And after 18 orthopedic surgeries, I would know if a PT is good at what he does – or not. He is.”

“Great service, caring and kind nurse. Marie, RN was knowledgeable about all aspects of my condition and helped both myself and my wife with aftercare. Would highly recommend her to any person in need of services. Thank you for all you help!”
“This agency is wonderful! The staff is kind, talented and very compassionate. This is my favorite experience in my latest healthcare journey. It was hard to be patient, as an RN, I wanted to be “fixed” right now!! I learned that the human body is even more intricate than I knew. Every department I worked with was great. Nursing (Jessica, RN, Jackie, LPN, Caitlin, RN,), therapy (Miranda, COTA), (Greg PTA) and all the Office and Eval Staff made my life better! I would choose them again without a question!”
“Outstanding home health care! My wife is a cancer and ilieostomy patient and has received Ohioans Home Health Care for three+ months. The care included both home physical and occupational therapy, as well as home nursing. I can’t say enough good things about all the services they have provided. They were very professional, compassionate as well as extremely knowledgeable in each if their capacities. We recently came to Florida for a few months, and are in the process of getting home health care here since Ohioan does not cover this area, and I can only hope it as good as what we received in Ohio. I highly recommend this company.”

“I love my nurse, Tonikae!! Professional, exceptionally kind, she always calls and comes on time. Manages my meds perfectly. I never worry about taking them like I did with other nurses. When she administers my shots they never hurt. “

Benefits of In-Home Physical Therapy
Safety and Comfort
Enjoy personalized physical therapy without worrying about transportation. Ohioans Home Health & Hospice brings the care to your home, so you can focus on optimizing your recovery. You’ll work with one therapist who tracks your progress and adjusts your exercises as needed. Being in a safe and controlled environment can also put your mind at ease.
Home Safety Evaluations
Rugs, electrical cords and steps present fall risks. Our in-home physical therapy services include safety evaluations to protect you from those hazards. Your therapist may recommend home modifications, such as grab bars, handrails and ramps to help you move through your residence. Having those amenities can boost your confidence and independence as you work toward your physical wellness goals.
Assistive Equipment
Therapists determine if you’d benefit from using assistive equipment like a cane, walker or wheelchair. Using those devices allows you to move safely and reduces your risk of further injury. Your therapist will provide hands-on training to show you how to use your equipment properly and coordinate with medical equipment suppliers to get you what you need.
Faster Recovery
Working in a low-stress environment supports participation, since you don’t have to contend with other patients for time and resources. Eliminating the barriers created by mobility and transportation also promotes consistency, which improves your rate of rehabilitation. Your therapist will help you put your techniques into practice by incorporating them into your daily routine. That way, you can continue working toward your goals between sessions.
Regain Confidence and Strength with Physical Therapy
Utilizing in-home physical therapy allows you to rebuild muscle strength and flexibility at your own pace, making for a more enjoyable experience. You can rely on your expert therapist to give tips as your exercises increase in complexity over time.
Our therapists offer positive reinforcement to steer you in a positive direction. They also offer practical guidance so you can apply your training to everyday situations like working around your house or going to the grocery store.
